As a therapist at Forestview Middle School, I provide them with a reliable support system during challenging times in their lives. I believe it’s essential for kids to know they don’t have to face their struggles alone, and I feel privileged to be someone they can turn to in moments of vulnerability. Throughout my career, I’ve encountered many resilient and inspiring young people, and it’s an honor to play a small role in their journeys.

My experience at Northern Pines has been immensely rewarding. I’ve had the opportunity to work with amazing colleagues and benefit from strong supervision, which has given me the ability for professional growth. I firmly believe that having a supportive team is crucial for job satisfaction, and I am grateful to be part of the amazing staff in the CTSS department at Forestview Middle School.

Outside of work, I cherish time spent with family and friends. I enjoy reading fiction, hiking, biking, and soaking up the summer sun on the water.
